Hua Xia and the others put down the bowls and plates in their hands and hurried to dress up Sheng Xiyan.
"Just change your clothes."
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has invited you to lunch. You must dress up beautifully, or the Emperor will be pleased and angry."
Sheng Xiyan had a bad sixth feeling, however, that this lunch was not simple.
"Where's the general?"
"Xiao Zhuozi has gone to look for the young master. I guess he's going to play with the princess. I told Xiao Zhuozi to send the young master directly to Suzaku Hall."
Four or five people worked in a hurry to dress up Sheng Xiyan.
Helped her out of Guanju Palace.
When she arrived at the door, Concubine Dun was just seeing off the official from the Ministry of Rites who was delivering the imperial decree.
Seeing Sheng Xiyan with her hair full of pearls and jade, looking elegant and graceful, she said angrily:
"Concubine Chen, you may not know this yet, but I am now also a concubine!"
Sheng Xiyan patted her shoulder lightly.
"Congratulations, Sister Dun. I will send you a gift at noon. You have achieved the position of concubine thanks to your father, but you still live in a side hall of Guanju Palace. How unfair! You should move to a spacious palace and become the Queen of the Main Palace."
After she finished speaking, she gracefully stepped onto the ceremonial platform.
Concubine Dun's maid said, "Your Highness, you should ask the Empress to change your main palace. You are now a concubine."
Concubine Dun turned around and slapped her to vent her anger.
"Why should I let this vixen get away with it? She wants me to leave, but I'm staying here!
Did you see that? She was wearing a dress cut from swallow feather tendons, which was exquisite, luxurious and sparkling.
The fabrics that His Majesty bestowed upon me for my promotion to the rank of Consort did not contain any such precious fabrics."
Concubine Dun stomped her feet angrily and went back to the side hall. She thought that comparing oneself with others would make one feel dreadful, but things change over time, and she would definitely find a way to deal with Sheng Xiyan.
The autumn wind is gentle, the sun is bright, and a thousand reds and purples are in full bloom.
Suzaku Hall is located in the south of the Imperial Palace. At this time, the red leaves are colorful and the scenery is as beautiful as a fairyland.
The ceremonial procession stopped at the door, and Jiang Jiang and Le Wen ran over.
"Mother!"
"Empress Chen!"
Sheng Xiyan came down and wiped the sweat off the two babies with a handkerchief.
"Where did you guys go to have fun again?"
"Empress Chen, Jiang Jiang is really good at climbing trees! These are the little loquats he picked for me."
Lewen was holding an orange loquat in his hand.
Jiangjiang's robe was bulging, and Sheng Xiyan knew that he had a lot of loquats in his pocket.
"Mother, Father is inside, let's go in quickly."
"good."
Sheng Xiyan led the two children in and saw two men standing on the second-floor pavilion of Suzaku Hall.
Jun, looking at his wife and children coming towards him.
I, your humble servant, also looked at his wife and children approaching.
Sheng Xiyan was wearing a goose yellow silk outer garment embroidered with purple grape patterns and a pomegranate skirt.
Even a head full of jewels and jade could not suppress her bright and beautiful beauty.
Her waist is slender and she walks like a willow tree swaying in the breeze.
In the orange autumn, it seems like another time and space has opened up here.
Jun, you have a beloved one.
I, too, have a beloved one.
No one will have regrets.
"Father! Father!"
Jiang Jiang and Le Wen ran towards the second-floor pavilion. Sheng Xiyan looked up and saw two men.
I suddenly felt uneasy. I should have not come. This was not a lunch, it was clearly a Hongmen Banquet.
Sheng Xiyan has walked the road she fears the most, and the person she fears the most is Xuan Ling.
Otherwise, should I pretend to faint and be carried back?
I really don't want to face these two people and the current situation.
Eunuch Fu smiled brightly.
"My lady, I will take you to the dining area."
Hua Xia helped Sheng Xiyan up the stairs and felt the sweat on her palms.
"My lady, don't be afraid, it's okay."
On the Vermillion Bird Terrace, there are lotus lakes on both sides.
When Sheng Xiyan arrived, she saw Xuan Ling already sitting in the main seat. She didn't dare look at Qi Yan and walked straight to the emperor.
Fu Shen said: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Xuan Ling's face was warm, and he reached out and took her hand to sit beside him.
"My beloved is here, please sit down."
Sheng Xiyan leaned beside him with her head down like a little wife, her neck so stiff that she didn't know how to move.
Qi Yan felt complicated. This was his wife and he should have hugged her tightly.
He could even see Sheng Xiyan's uneasiness. When she felt nervous, she would clench her hands and look blank.
He spoke with difficulty, "Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Concubine Chen."
Sheng Xiyan was nervous and didn't agree. Xuan Ling used his arm to hit her.
"My dear, I am here to greet you."
Sheng Xiyan raised her head slightly, and her eyes briefly met Qi Yan's.
The two of them looked like young men and women on a blind date, both with shy faces.
Sheng Xiyan whispered softly, "General Qi, please sit down."
Just this brief eye contact was enough to make Xuan Ling angry and he moved his body.
How come they look like a couple that's attracted to each other, and he looks just like the girl's father?!
Looking closely at the beauty's two slender hands, I found that she was not wearing an imperial green ring.
She did it on purpose! She must have done it on purpose!
I showed off to Qi Yan in vain!
The strong sense of oppression was gloomy and chilly. Sheng Xiyan glanced at the emperor.
His warm face suddenly turned dark and gloomy. What happened to him?
Pick up the glass and pour a glass of wine.
Xuan Ling glanced at her coldly, "Are you mute?"
Can't I just say sweetly, "Xuan Lang, drink some wine."
Unlike the usual way she stuck to him later, she seemed extremely distant.
Her discomfort and abnormality all came from the man sitting opposite her. She still cared about him, and caring was love.
Jiang Jiang ran over, took out a lot of loquats from his pocket and put them on the long table.
"Father, these are all the loquats I picked while climbing the tree. I'm giving them all to you, Father."
Xuan Ling's cold heart was warmed and he pulled him into his arms.
